LOOONG Throttle Cable needed...Where to buy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a LOOOONG throttle cable to go from my "Juice" pedal in the cab to the injection pump on my C-20 Cummins project. I am talking like 5ft, but 5.5 would be better..........Anyone know where to get such a beast? Injection pump is on the passenger side and its really giving me headaches on how to operate it. A long cable would be the simplest and cleanest I think.

Thanks for any info you can provide

I don't know the length but GM vans have long throttle cables. They go through the firewall ahead of the engine and loop around the engine to hook up to the carb. Try your local wrecking yard or GM dealer.

Good luck - Bob

Look for a cable from a TPI camero...alot of times, these cables go from the fire and wrap around and come in from the front of the engine....
If you know what kind of end you need at the firewall/throttle connection...take that info and/or the end of that part of the cable. Then go to an autozone or some other preferred auto parts store and they maybe able to match up another cable (only longer) that will fit your needs. GOODLUCK!!!

Found what I needed in my trusty Surplus Center Catalog..........For $6.00 a piece I think its a good deal

Ordered one for the throttle, and one for the shut off cable.

Thanks for the help guys
